Sunday Recap- Summer at the Shore (pt.1)

We kicked off the Summer at the Shore Series today. I talked about Jesus calling the first disciples to "come fish for people"...played a clip from "Deadliest Catch" where the crab fishermen stopped crabbing to rescue a crewman from another boat that had fallen overboard...I couldn't have possibly "explained" Jesus offer better than the clip did.
Here's the highlights

• Jerry and the "AC All-Stars" on Stage. More of an accoustic vibe today but wow did they bring it. Lynn Royer Closed the service out with "Anyway" (Martina McBride) It was amazing...It was difficult to speak after she finished.
• Really a downer to say Goodbye to John and Yvonne today... they have been with us from the beginning and are moving back to England...We will miss them so much.
• I wish I had more "answers" for some of the stuff going on with some of our actionchurch "peeps" right now...I feel so helpless sometimes when all I can say is "I don't understand either"...I want so much for God to "show up" in these situations...
• I'm also praying for all the people struggling right now about whether to chose respond to Jesus' call to "Follow Me"...I love the fact that people are honestly struggling and questioning spiritually... I know that "If you seek, you will find"...
• It was nice to have Bill Galinato and his Evangelism Sunday School Class drop by for a "field trip" form Church of the Open Door...I like Bill a lot, he is definitely a dude that "Gets it" when it comes to "fishing for people"...
• Good crowd today...offering was low. It honestly doesn't surprise me a bit...whenever we are getting ready to bless others as a church (Relay) we are tested financially. We are going to chose to be generous and God will provide. That's just how we roll.
• I was envying the people setting out on the Deck today. How cool is it that we have a facility where you can actually be outside and still be able to hear and see the service...I love it!
• I'm pumped that every week new people chose to give actionchurch a test drive...
• A very "different" Sunday morning at actionchurch...but that is why I love doing this so much...you just never know what God is going to chose to do on any given Sunday.

Here's a little Bonus footage of something "at the shore" that didn't make the final cut for video this morning...but it makes me laugh...
